Google g suite Invalid Given/Family Name: FamilyName (ColdFusion/HTTP POST) - coldfusion

Question

I have seen several posts about this issue, but I haven't been able to overcome mine using the suggestions. Following is my code and the results:
<cffunction name="CreateUser" hint="Create new GSuite user." returntype="struct" access="public">
<cfargument name="token" hint="The Google-provided access token." type="string" required="yes">
<cfargument name="state" hint="The unique anti-forgery string." type="string" required="yes">
<cfargument name="userdata" hint="A json string containing user data" type="string" required="yes">
<cfargument name="api" hint="API Key for the Google Domain" type="string" required="yes">
<cfhttp method="post" charset="utf-8" url="https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/users?state=#state#&access_token=#token#" result="uResult">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="auth" value="Authorization: Bearer #token#">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="accept" value="Accept: application/json">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="content" value="Content-type: application/json">
<cfhttpparam type="body" name="body" value=#userdata#>
</cfhttp>
<cfreturn uResult>
</cffunction>
The JSON string being used is:
{
"password":"Test#me12!",
"primaryEmail":"John#doe.com",
"name":
{
"familyName":"Doe",
"givenName":"John"
}
}
I am taking my HTTP POST structure from the following example:
Google Users: insert (Directory API)
The result I get back from Google is this:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "invalid",
"message": "Invalid Given/Family Name: FamilyName"
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "Invalid Given/Family Name: FamilyName"
}
}
I cannot understand what might be wrong. Per other posts, I have included the content-type. Per Google's example, I have included the accept header and the auth header. Still, I cannot get a different result.
If I take the JSON string I pass to the function and use it in the Google link above, I am able to create the user. However, if I pass it through HTTP POST, I cannot. Please tell me there is a stray comma or missing dot somewhere in there.

Your header "name" and "values" looks off. Don't put the header names inside the "value" attribute. That's what the "name" attribute is for :-)
For example the authorization and disposition headers should be:
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Bearer #token#">
Also, the "body" parameter has no "name" attribute, only a "value":
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#userdata#">
For more details, see also the cfhttpparam documentation.
